This particular chick is now one day old. It hatched somewhere between midnight and 530 yesterday morning. I have not hatched any of these problems to date, let alone all three at once.

Should mention it was literally a day 23 hatch. The others all hatched day 20-21

It was the only egg to hatch from its breeder who I have not heard from as of yet. It is a Wheaten Araucana.

I have done booties for the feet and have banded the legs and we are using a sock donut to cushion a container it’s standing in. It was flipping over other containers, so this has been the option that works so far.

It is drinking via a syringe, doing drops on the side of the beak, and had tried Nutri-drench yesterday and this morning, I also have poultry cell, but since that doesn’t give a weight for dosing just the 1– 3 cc. I was being cautious.

There are a lot of opinions online and when so came here to see what everyone else has done or has seen.

Was a day 24 hatch, sleep deprivation is hitting me at this point trying to keep watch on it. I’ve done some of the suggestions here but it’s not a fan of the wet chick mash. I have plain Greek yogurt and I think I’ve just seen plain yogurt not Greek recommended so I don’t want to be wrong

Does anyone have any clarification there or other things to try?

The feet look like they’re resolving. The legs not so much but it flips back so much it’s like it’s using them to try to stabilize? The neck looked a tiny bit better earlier but it’s still very upside down

Drinking water and supplement fine. Has a totally loud strong chirp but it’s not panic it’s more like “hey human” since we always go to it and see. Did poop, lot of water but everything else looks good.

I don want to give up on it. Not yet
